Love this little restaurant on camden road and so does anyone else thats been here before. Always busy at weekends. Really tasty, good portions and unlike all the chain italians in town this one doesnt taste like it came out of a microwave. More

Our family loves Il Vesuvio and we visit often. Maria, Franco, Barbara and Alessandro are always on hand to ensure that there is a warm welcome and we feel like family friends. The food is delicious and typically Neopolitan. More

Our favourite place for casual dining, Il Vesuvio is an absolute gem! Hearty dishes, packed with flavour. We have never been disappointed by the food or service. I could eat 'grandma's meatballs' every night of the week! More

My boyfriend booked us here for my birthday on the weekend. He had read great reviews and heard the same from friends. The staff was friendly and helpful, and with it being a family-run establishment, there was a real sense welcome. The staff had great recommendations for food and seemed to really care about your experience. The decor is nothing... More

Good food, but marred by super slow service, with ~90 mins before our main course arrived. Not sure I will be going back which is a shame, as they obviously pride themselves on offering a genuine Italian restaurant. More

Il Vesuvio has a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff but the food is average and is the kind of thing you could cook at home. I would go back there but not for a special meal or event. More

This unassuming little restaurant is the "real mccoy", an authentic italian. The welcome was warm, and the service prompt and friendly, with plenty of advice on the menu if you needed it. The food and wine were excellent, and very reasonably priced. They seemed to go to a lot of trouble to ensure that the ingredients were sourced direct from... More
